Fashion designer Zaldy Goco invites you into his creative sanctuary in the Financial District, while the late artist Françoise Gilot shares glimpses of her Upper West Side apartment. Nightlife impresario Omar Hernandez takes you on an unforgettable night at La Goulue, and José Parlá provides a tour of his Brooklyn studio.

Photographer Oliver Pilcher spent months capturing the soul of New York City through his lens, and the book also includes insights from artists, writers, designers, chefs, and others who have chosen to make this vibrant metropolis their home. "New York Chic" immerses you in the colorful, dynamic, and sometimes contradictory aesthetics of this city of dreams and endless possibilities.
